Just Twilight
honestly, this was enjoyable but nothing too unique. it really felt kind of like a corporate story — very systematic and almost emotionless at times. the start was very basic, and i feel like the entire premise was too. we have a female lead who’s broke and abused, and the only thing that really makes her stand out is that she’s hardheaded and strong. i don’t mind clichés, but i like them better when there’s a twist. almost everything in this story felt predictable, not because it was written particularly well, but because it’s a plot we’ve all seen before. the art was pretty, but nothing special. i liked both characters’ designs, but i’ve read so many stories with more impressive art that this didn’t stand out as unique in that sense either. surprisingly, i found myself really enjoying the main villain. he felt like the only truly three-dimensional character in the whole story. we get to understand why he is the way he is and how he thinks, which made him really compelling. even when he makes horrible decisions and interferes with the love between the leads, it’s hard to hate him because he’s written with such depth. i love characters with angst, so reading about him was definitely my favorite part. this is a very “feel-good” story overall — even when there’s abuse or bad situations, you can tell it’s heading down a straight path from happiness to happiness. you’re never really questioning what’s going to happen next. that’s why the villain stood out so much to me; he felt different and gave the story a little more life. overall, the story was fine. nothing special, nothing terrible. i put off reading it because i thought it would be really good, but in the end, it’s not show-stopping — just… fine.
